Notes

  • Author's note: 'This very short prose poem monologue "accessories" was written for an anti-nuclear reading many years ago. The idea came from reading an article in Rolling Stone on test sites for the first atom bomb in the New Mexican desert. The speaker here reveals her lack of awareness.'
